Europe!!!

It's amazing what a click of the mouse can do...a month or so ago, with the click of my mouse I committed to volunteering for the emerging Center for Obesity Prevention and Education program at Cal Poly and today, with a click of my mouse, I committed to a trip to Europe.

My high school friend lives across the street from Buckingham Palace and they'll be moving back to the states later this year, so my window of opportunity to stay with her is drawing to a close. So, May it is for just about two weeks!!! Since I've been to London a couple of time, she tells me she'll show me places tourists don't know about...can't wait!!!

A side trip to Paris or out into the countryside might be in order - we'll see how Jolly Ol' England suits me.

Hopefully we can find a craft fair or two while I'm there. The times I have been to London, there were very few craft supplies in the stores so it will be interesting to see how things have changed.

Thanks KPH for offering to be my hotel and tour guide. It isn't pizza on a Friday night at the local pizza parlor after a high school football game...

Happy trails,

Joan

Orchids in Paris?

Paris? Not exactly...

A local orchid club had a show at the local mall. There was mistake #1 - the mall. I hadn't been shopping in ages and I knew I needed to buy some sandals since the weather has been in the 70's lately. I had success in finding sandals - too much success. Four pairs of shoes later I was back home and oh, the orchids were beautiful!

Paris - I don't know, but they had a little cafe scene set up in the display window outside of the show.





This orchid almost went from floor to ceiling - I've NEVER seen such a tall orchid - it's blooming on top!
